Caroline Buchanan (AUS) and Connor Fields (USA) again claimed victory in the Superfinal Time Trials during the second round of the 2012 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series in Randaberg, Norway. Less than a month ago this duo did exactly the same in Chula Vista California. That is remarkable considering this a small, fast, custom-build, indoor track compared to the much bigger, downhill, Beijing Olympic replica track. In other words, these two riders are unstoppable in their current form and can win anywhere.

Last weekend was motocross weekend. The first race of the 2012 GP season took place in Valkenswaard, only 40 minutes from here. I've been a motocross fan since I was a kid so there's no passing up the first Grand Prix race of the season where everyone brings out the new bikes, their new gear and the new trucks. This year we even saw some more umbrella girls and it's a good thing they were there, because it rained on Sunday afternoon. It was a full easter weekend of racing with the girls and MX3 class added to the GP weekend.
